In-car camera captures cyclist crashing head-on into taxi at traffic junction

In-car camera captures cyclist crashing head-on into taxi at traffic junction

By Joyce Lim

A cyclist was hit by a taxi and flung off his bike when he apparently tried to zip past a traffic junction as the green pedestrian sign was flashing.


The accident took place at the junction of Upper Changi Road and Somapah Road on Tuesday night.
Police received a call at about 10pm, alerting them to the accident. The 52-year-old cyclist was conveyed conscious to Changi General Hospital.


The accident was captured on a taxi driver's in-car video camera and his son, Steven, sent the video to Stomp. Steven who witnessed the accident inside his father's car, told Stomp that the lights were green for pedestrians to cross the traffic junction when the cyclist was hit by a taxi which was turning right. Police investigations are ongoing.

The cyclist had a death wish, so what's the fuss about?

Another one of those Tour de France wannabes.

Sinkie drivers dunno how to give way to pedestrians and cyclist. Maybe this taxi scared kena summon for breaking red light, so saw cyclist also go bang him.
In any case, motorcycles and cyclist more prone to tragic accidents on the roads.
In China, the law protects the smaller road user, so cyclist will win in court no matter what.

Ya got once I was crossing the road, and got one guy on a motor who is turning, when he saw pedestrian on the road, he didnt even stop, instead he accelerated and rode past less than a meter away from me.
